India's Hypersonic Missile LRAShM: 12000 KMPH Speed, Targets Terror Masterminds
•DRDO is developing a new variant of the Long Range Anti-Ship Missile (LRAShM) for the Army and Air Force, previously naval-focused.
•LRAShM is a boost-glide hypersonic weapon, reaching speeds up to Mach 10 (12,000 KMPH), making it undetectable by conventional radars.
•The missile can eliminate terrorist masterminds like Masood Azhar and Hafiz Saeed in their hideouts with surface-to-surface and air-to-surface variants.
•It utilizes proven technologies from BO-5 SLBM and BrahMos missile, reducing development time and technical risks.
•LRAShM offers three times the operational range of the Pralay missile, enabling strikes on heavily defended targets without nuclear systems.
